Things to Do on an Asia Cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line

Featured below are a few of the best ways to spend your time when cruising through Asia with Norwegian Cruise Line:

• Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Bangkok, Thailand)
  Visit the sacred Wat Phra Kaew temple, one of the most revered in Thailand, and stare up at the Emerald Buddha. This impressive religious monument was created from a solid block of jade and sits upon a throne in a room so ornate that has to be seen to be believed.
   

• Hong Kong Harbor Tour (Hong Kong)
  Board an authentic junk boat to take in one of the most magnificent city views in the world. For a higher perspective, hike or ride to the top of Victoria Peak and enjoy the one-of-a-kind views from high above this modern city.
   

• Vinpearl Beach and Cable-Car Ride (Nha Trang, Vietnam)
  You’ll find some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and coastlines in Asia, especially in the Southeast. Board a cable-car to ride above the aqua waters of Nha Trang Bay to Vinpearl Beach, where you can enjoy a spa treatment or just relax on the white sand beach. Thrill-seekers can enjoy a nearby amusement park.
   

• Batu Caves & City Sightseeing (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
  Learn about Hinduism by touring the Batu Caves, which are guarded by a towering golden statue. Ascend nearly 300 steps to the entrance of the limestone caves, which are filled with Hindu shrines and temples. Afterwards, return to downtown Kuala Lumpur for a city tour including a trip to the Independence Square, the Royal Selangor Visitor Center and a photo-op with the towering Petronas Twin Towers.
   

• Wat Chalong Temple Tour (Phuket, Thailand)
  Explore the many detailed statues and ornate shrines of the Wat Chalong Temple in Phuket. As you journey from one chamber to the next, you’ll dig deeper into the Buddhist culture in Thailand. Guests will be especially fond of the Grand Pagoda, which features the Buddha’s life history through a series of wall paintings.
   

• Bali Volcano & City Tour (Benoa, Bali)
  Tour two of Bali’s most famous volcanoes, Mt. Agung and Mt. Batur, while a volcanologist provides insight into their formation and eruption history. If you like to move in the opposite direction of giant volcanoes, perhaps you’d prefer to stay downtown where you could take in the Balinese traditions at a dance show. These often tell stories while connecting religion and nature using artistic dance.
